Denali and I walk on the beach every morning. Sometimes (okay, fine, a lot of times), I’m late so we only get a 15- or 20-minute walk, but sometimes we get these fabulous leisurely walks, where I sip a latte and look around for the dog catcher before slyly letting her run free along the…
I did this: It’s not really any of the ‘dos, but it’s the same style. Yep selfies are weird. I also did all my makeup, with Urban Decay. Loves it. Contour tutorial here. Eyeball tutorial here. Wedding hair. Haaaaaalp! Leave thoughts in the comments.
Remember my lifelong bestie Cait, who essentially named this blog for me (story here)? She’s the one getting married this weekend. And she wrote this sweet bio about us and didn’t even tell me. I had to discover it on her wedding website, much like I discovered months after the fact that she had named…

This week was all about being who I am, and staying true to that/me. Who I am is a particularly hard sentiment to hold on to when insecurity rears her ugly head, my own head putting me in situations that leave me feeling like I’m not enough. In those situations if I can get back to…
“Through hail or high water …” And we crossed both. This picture sums up how I felt about being the minister at my friends’ wedding, and how I felt about their wedding: a five-day backpacking trip through Kings Canyon called the Rae Lakes Loop. The wedding was amazing, but I can’t tell you how to…
I average 2 nalgenes at work a day, and consider 3 nalgenes a good day. This doesn’t include a nalgene consumed during fitness—and I believe at least one nalgene should be consumed per fitness activity. In short, I’m all about hydration. I drink BCAAs and electrolytes and use lemon and do all sorts of things…
Changes are afoot. Doing with love. So I will be at peace. Confident. Grateful for: time, space, friends, books, protein cookies, nali, family, latte link 2, vb, beach, bonfires, crossfitters, yoga, ra yoga. Save Save
